Taking the piss is a British term meaning to take liberties at the expense of others, or to be unreasonable. It is often used (or confused) with taking the piss out of which is an expression meaning to mock, tease, ridicule, or scoff.[1] It is also not to be confused with "taking a piss", which refers to the actual biological act of urinating. Taking the Mickey (Mickey Bliss, Cockney rhyming slang) or taking the Michael is another term for making fun of someone. These terms are most widely used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia.

On October 13th Occupy London will be throwing a street party to mark it’s one year anniversary. Come outside the London Stock Exchange from 2pm to 5pm, and bring music, food, games, colourful banners….and pots and pans!

We will be joining people all over the world in a #GlobalNoise, a global day of protest to mark that we are still here, one year on, united and more determined then ever.

There will be workshops, talks and a chance to meet activists from around the world and hear stories from citizens defending our local communities.

We will then move to a secret location for a two day occupation!

The 13th will mark the start of a global week of protest that will lead up to the march on the 20th of October. Follow us as we plan a series of actions to highlight how the 1% are destroying the welfare state, schools and universities, public space and the NHS.
